Jane Bird Adds May Tour Dates With Anderson East

Jade Bird is extending her spring and summer U.S. tour-this time withAnderson East on select dates in May. Jade has also confirmed dates supportingColter Wall and First Aid Kit as well as festival appearances at SXSW, Stagecoach, Bonnaroo, Firesfly and Mountain Jam. See below for details.

Jade's latest single "Lottery," out now on Glassnote Records, continues to receive critical acclaim-Rolling Stone Countryhails, "There's something infinitely satisfying about the mix of saccharine British pop and foot-stomping Americana that encapsulates Jade Bird's approach...along with delightful wordplay and earworm melodies," while NPR Musicfurthers, "At first listen, the song exudes a lovely, youthful innocence. Bird's inimitable vocals come in soft as she tallies the numbers on a first love that's withered and waned...Turns out, though, this Bird has a bite, and with a fiery switch we're thrown into a thunderous chorus that carries us from start to finish." Watch the official video here as well as the acoustic version here. "Lottery" follows Jade's 2017 debut EP Something American.

Born in Hexham, U.K., Jade's early life was spent mainly in flight as an "army brat." One of life's few constants proved to be the influence of strong working women. At first via her mother and grandmother, who largely raised her, but later the female role models within the musical subcultures Jade become obsessed with: from empowering country heroines like Loretta Lynn to iconic alternative songwriters like Patti Smith-Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill was a similar early touchstone. Jade also recently spoke with Noisey about the influence of these and other women on her music.
